Quoted for the truth. Loeb (or Marvel) also lied about USM getting a 2nd season (an additional 26 episodes) because the ratings of the show were so good. DISNEY XD had already ordered 52 episodes (2 seasons with 26 episodes each) from the very beginning (2 years before the show started airing on XD), just like they did with AVENGERS:EMH. So USM getting a 2nd season had nothing to do with the shows ratings.

How could the ratings already be so good before the show even happened?
